Great deal, and will definitely use them again.  Everything went really smoothly and they were on time and on budget.

We hired Northstar to move my elderly parents and they could not have been better!  Our initial meeting for the free “not to exceed” estimate was great, and we loved knowing what our maximum cost would be. Then the day of the move, the 3 movers arrived a few minutes EARLY, they were all friendly, careful with everything, and very efficient.  They actually wound up finishing way ahead of the estimated timeframe, not a thing was broken or misplaced, and all went smoothly!  They really made the move simple and effortless for my parents!!  Thank you Northstar!!!

Excellent company to work with–very professional, courteous people starting with the owner and down to the actual moving guys. Worked with them on a couple of occasions including same day move. No hidden fees or charges–what you are quoted is what you get. Thanks Ron for a great service!

Factor, Jonathan and Guido did an incredible job moving us from our 2 bedroom apt into our new house. They were able to get everything moved carefully and efficiently in under 4 hours.  Everything was done impeccably.  Thanks fellas.

This was the best moving experience I’ve ever had with movers, and I have moved A LOT. Factor, Will, and Chris were the three man team that conducted my local move from a one bedroom apartment to putting all my furniture in a storage unit. They showed up on time and were very pleasant and polite. Even though I paid by the hour, they were very fast and very careful (they had all furniture shrink-wrapped and loaded onto the truck in one hour). It was very evident that they were experienced. Getting my furniture into my tiny storage space was like a challenging tetris puzzle, but Will and Factor had some type of visual-spatial gift that helped them work it out. I’m not sure I could have done it without them. The appointment and office staff were very friendly and upfront with the charges so there are no surprises when you go to pay. I will definitely use NorthStar again for my next move, and I will be requesting the same awesome team: Factor, Will, and Chris.

I think if you take the Real Age test online, moving adds a year to your life. Moving is awful. “Soul sucking” might be the most apt term to describe the whole experience. But, if you have to move, NorthStar is the best option for professional movers in the Bay Area. I requested several quotes from various moving companies. North Star was the first to respond–and they offered the lowest quote. Other companies charge the same hourly rate, but tack on a hefty gas fee. NorthStar doesn’t. With the yelp deal, NorthStar comes out to be a much better deal than any other mover I saw. Their customer service was consistently extremely good. And the movers themselves are polite, professional, and efficient. These guys were awesome. Although I paid for a three man crew, they threw in a fourth mover free since he was working on a larger job later in the day.  I’m also pretty sure they generously underestimated the drive and move time total (California law requires that they charge double drive time. When I learned this, I threatened yet again  to move to New Hampshire. Live free or die, baby). I paid the 3 hour minimum for my move from San Mateo County to Marin County. 

If you want to mnimize the stress of moving, save yourself some time and book NorthStar–it isn’t even worth the time to research other movers.
